We took these 4 missionaries to the market and they found this guy down there who was white, not many of them around, so they thought that they would teach him about the church. He listened very well but had absolutely nothing to say. After about an hour they gave up.
Just us at the market. Not our favorite place to go. But sometimes it's necessary.
One of the members who we have become acquainted with has this coconut tree in his front yard. He wanted to have us try a fresh coconut so his friend climbed up the tree, which was about 25 feet tall and cut a bunch of coconuts out.
He makes a point on one end of the nut with his cutlass and cuts a little lid in the top to expose the inside. There were about 2 cups of water inside. He made us drink all of it but it tasted good and was quite cool. The white coconut on the inside was different from what we have had in the states. It was only about 1/8 inch thick and was very slimy and not much flavor.
"Here", he said, "take this and drink it all". And he was serious. We had to do what he said because he was the one with the cutlass.
Bottoms up
Chug a lug
I think mine has a lizard in it.
These kids were out on the play ground equipment.
The lady with the stick is pounding it in a pile of rocks in-order to make the end flare out like a mushroom and then they use it to make the fufu that they eat. There is also a large wooded bowl that goes along with it. Kind of like a mortar and pestle. Needless to say sometimes you get small wood particles to add flavor to the fufu.
